Mike offered my "sequences don't need commas" this:

>sequence test
>test="12, 34, 56, 67+89"

Perhaps you meant:

    test = { 12, 34, 56, 67+89 }

>test="12  34  56  67 +89" --oops

    test = { 12 34 56 67 +89 }

As noted, this is perhaps ambigious (to the reader). But the parser would
read it as:

    test = { 12 34 56 (67+89) }

since addition has higher precedence than a unary plus.

But remain corrected, in that I pretty much claimed that commas were
*entirely* useless.

Thanks for the feedback.
